Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2s, 190s.

Application filed March 24, 1908. I Serial No. 423,062.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLFO OvrDr, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at No. 16 Via Colonna, Milan, Italy, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Mechanical Liquid-Beaters, a Mechanism Having the Purpose of Beating and Mashing Liquids Mechanically; and I do hereby declare lthe 'following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame.

The present invention relates to machines for beating and mixing beverages, andthe object is to provide a device which operates smoothly, economically and efficiently.

Referring to the accom anying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of ille new apparatus, and Fig. 2 illustrates a vertica through the base, standard and frame 'of the same.

The device is provided with a base w,

whereby it may be secured to a table or other body, and with a vertical standard having horizontal sockets, al and a2, therein. The upper end of the standard is tubular to permit reciprocation of a plunger L therein. Said lunger is in the form of a tube having a closed bottom, and a coiled springn, housed within the tubular part of the standard below the plunger, tends to keep the latter in its highest position.

The plunger forms part of and extends downwardly from a loop-like frame l which, at its top, supports a depending plate m1 adapted to engage the to or bottom of a glass or otherhollow bo y containing the beverage to be mixed or assisting in the mixing thereof, and the vertical position of which may be adjusted by turning the same so as to have the screw t advanced or retracted in the u per part of the loop Z.

A separate p ate m is adapted to engage the bottom of the glass or pair of hollow bodies wherein the beverage is mixed, and said plate is secured above the up er end of a vertical rod r which extends ownwardly into the hollow of plungeri. A coiled s ringo below the rod 1^ and housed within sald hollow art of the lunger, tends to lift the same at a times. y this arrangement, the glass or glasses will be held, by the spring o, between the upper and lower plates m1 and fm,

sectionl until the rod o is clamped within the plunger i by tightening a screw s.

In order to reciprocate the plunger i, and thereby to give violent to and fro motion to the glass or glasses held between plates m and m1, I provide suitable mechanlcal connections. The drawings show a large sprocket wheel b (mounted upon an axial pin c2 itting within the socket al), a chain b driven thereby and passing over a smaller sprocket e (mounted upon an axial pin f1 iitting within the socket a2) and a link g connectin at one end, with a pin le (carried by the u per end of the plunger t) and at the lower end with a pin'h eccentrically mounted upon a fly-whee sprocket e.-

It will be obvious that the frame will be reciprocated once for each rotation ofthe flyw eel f, which runs'at a speed greater than that of the sprocket l driven by means of a fly-wheel c and by a handle c1 thereon; it will also be obvious that the spring fn, will be compressed at each downward movement of the plunger, and will assist in the raising of the parts when the link g'starts to move upwardly.

A metallic lplate a: may be secured to the standard at t e side facing the purchaser of the beverage, and an exchangeable advertising sign y or other plate may be secured to plate What I claim is:

1. In means for beating and mixing beverages, a standard, a frame mounted for movement therein and having a device for engaging a beverage holder and a spring tending to move said device independently of the movements of the frame, and connections for rapidly reciprocating said frame.

2. In means for beating and mixing beverages, a standard, a frame mounted for reciprocation therein, and a spring tending to reciprocate said frame in one direction, a device in the frame for engaging a beverage holder and a spring tending to move said device independently of the movements of the frame, and connections for rapidly reciproeating said frame.

' 3. n means for beating and mixing beveri ages,' a standard, a frame mounted for recipf driven by the smaller rooation therein and having a device for enname to this speoiiication in the presence of gaging a beverage holder, and connections two subscribing; Witnesses. for rapidly reci rocating said frame and coniprising a Whee supported by said standard ADOLFO OVIDI' 5 and a link connected with said Wheel and Witnesses:

with said frame. OsoAR PUMPEL,

In testimony whereof, I have signed my M. SICKDORFER.
